What happened to the em dashes?
by John R. Culleton 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

I just noticed on a sample chapter sent to a customer that the em dashes are missing. What is shown is the three hyphens instead. In my document I have this: \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupbodyfont[MyGaramond,11pt] In type-agaramond.tex I have this: --------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] [8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [MyGaramond] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript ------------------------------------------------- I intstalled the fonts by using the texfont package. I can of course look up the glyph on the chart and do a \char thingie but the em dash is so basic I don't know how I messed it up. Does it have something to do with the 8r-raw encoding?

french, ponctuation and directdiscretionary or discretionarytoken pb
by olivier Turlier 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi everybody, I've recently upgraded to ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.23 14:46 MK II fmt: 2006.11.24 int: english/english (mswincontext.zip of 2006-11-24) and there is a pb with all "french" ponctuation characters : context compile break on a \directdiscretionary or \discretionarytoken pb. Exemple : (... ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \edef \directdiscretionary #1->\edef \discretionarytoken {\detokenize {#1}}\let \t... <argument> guide-calc-sol-tecic-rt2000: : \dodoexpandreferences ... \specialREFidentifier #1 \endcsname \edef \expanded... \doexpandreferences ...ences #1REF(\relax )\relax \@EAEAEA \doexpandreferenc... \expandreferences ...count \doexpandreferences #1, ],) It's either in Metapost code : (; at the end of a line) or in references : (\section[sec:section01]{Section01} see about[sec:section01]) or : {\gotobox{\externalfigure[guide-sol-tecic-gobacked.pdf][width=.2\textwidth][page=1]}[guide-calc-sol-tecic-rt2000::] }) I guess the problem occurs when there is no space between ponctuation sign & preceeding text. I tried to produce a minimal exemple, but this one is working in every case ! If you want to reproduce the pb, here is the complete attached env & file : full french mess inside ! (for the moment, I go back to an earlier version : I must produce something!) TIA for any answers olivier Turlier

Page headers/footers setup
by Wim Neimeijer 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi all, I want to use different headers/footers for the different section blocks. I use \setupheaderstexts, \setupfootertexts but those are global settings. What I now use is a couple of \setupheader[state=start/stop] and \setupfooter[state=start/stop] to switch off/on the (un)desired header/footer. How can I specifically set the headers/footers per sectionblock so they act only on the body matter or back matter ? Kind regards Wim

counter in ConTeXt
by Michael 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

How do I use counter in ConTeXt? Specifically, I use this to define '\startproblem\stopproblem'. \defineenumeration[problem][location=top,text=Problem,% between=\blank,before=\blank,after=\page] I want to say \totalnumberofproblems, in the beginning of the exam, like \totalnumberofpages. How do I do that? Thanks, Michael

selecting big bodyfont results in wrong size
by Alex Lubberts 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hi all, Some strange thing with fontsize is happening. In my typescript file is: \starttypescript[Chaparral] \definetypeface [Chaparral][rm][serif][chaparral][dtp][encoding=uc] ... because I want to use the 'dtp sizes' (and I'm using XeTex). For a bodyfont of 12pt is defined in type-siz.tex: \definebodyfontenvironment [12pt] [\s!text=12pt,\s!script=9pt,\s!scriptscript=7pt, \c!x=10pt,\c!xx=8pt,\c!big=14pt,\c!small=10pt] So one would expect that switching to a big bodyfont will result in a fontsize of 14pt. But when I typeset the next file: \usetypescriptfile[type-adobe] \usetypescript[Chaparral] \setupbodyfont[Chaparral,12pt] \starttext Normal size is correct: \the\bodyfontsize. \switchtobodyfont[big] Big size should be 14pt, but is: \the\bodyfontsize. \stoptext I see that the big bodyfontsize is 14.4pt. (I attached the resulting pdf.) How do I fix this? Thanks and with regards, Alex Lubberts

Re: [NTG-context] vertical space

Hi Steffen, Steffen Wolfrum wrote: > > Is there an equivalent for > > \definewhitespacemethod [bigger] {\ctxparskip10pt plus3pt minus3pt} > > that must be used in register? Probably yes, because registers basically treat every line as a paragraph. I am not the most knowledgeable person about registers, so I am re-forwarding this to the mailing list. For the benefit of the list, a short summary of the question is this: \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5] \definewhitespacemethod [bigger] {\ctxparskip10pt plus3pt minus3pt} \setupwhitespace[bigger] creates lots of flexibility in the interline and interparagraph space, so you can do something like this: \definestartstop[kleiner] [before={\startcolumns[n=2] \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5] \setupwhitespace [bigger]}, after={\stopcolumns }] and that works like a charm in equalizing out the bottom lines of the columns, for the running text. But with such a definition somewhere, this still does not work: \starttext \startkleiner \placeregister[index] \stopkleiner \stoptext Does anybody know and approach to do that? Best, Taco

ConTeXt update deletes user files?
by Oliver Buerschaper 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, after updating to the latest ConTeXt release (via i-Installer on my Mac) all my custom files are gone! I put them in .../texmf.local/tex/ context/user/ and now there is emptiness :-( The installer shouldn't touch those files, right? Is there a way to recover them? I'm a newbie to ConTeXt so it took me ages to collect all the info necessary to assemble a little module that provides theorem-like environments ... and I need this so bad! Oliver

small smaller and vertical stretch
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi, using "small" and "medium" rather than "8pt" or "10pt" gives some vertical "stretch". Very useful in some situations: \setupinterlinespace[small] \setupwhitespace[medium] But what to do if "small" is still too big? And yet the "stretch" is needed? While I can say ... \blank[.75*medium] ... this operation is not allowed for the two above. So, what to do? Steffen
